The sea and the sky meet, and there is no shore on all sides. There are a few seagulls here and there, chasing the black smoke from the boiler room at the stern. Suddenly there was a heavy rain, and the white waves were like mountains, reaching as high as the surface of the ship. The ship's hull was shaking, as if it was about to capsize in the rough waves. The raindrops turned into bright white blades and came forward with a biting cold air. The Duanwu Bridge subconsciously closed its eyes.

Like Joyce's masterpiece "Ulysses," DeLillo's "Metropolis" is a story that takes place in one day. Twenty-eight-year-old billionaire Eric Parker is a talented asset manager. His nature is to constantly grab new things from the world. One day in April 2000, Eric was sitting in his limousine, planning to get a haircut.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the overlord of a generation, passed away due to illness, and the world was suddenly in turmoil. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who harbors ambitions in his heart but looks like a down-to-earth farmer, is waiting for the opportunity to become the world leader. He was well versed in people's hearts, and he flattered Hideyoshi's main wife Homasa Sho in every possible way, aiming to win over the generals Kato Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori, who regarded Homasa as his mother.

On the way to conquer Kagekatsu Kamikami, at a military meeting in Noshu Hill, he turned the generals who followed the orders of Hideyoshi's successor Hideyori into the Tokugawa family's private army in one fell swoop.

Ma Tuo was captured and brutally executed. After Salang Bao's eyes met Ma Tuo's, he fell to the ground and died as if struck by lightning. The work has been adapted twice for the screen and has been adapted into an opera and performed in various places.

A unique historical mystery novel that doesn't even look like a mystery novel. The so-called case in the novel is a well-known story in British history: Richard III murdered two young princes imprisoned in the Tower of London in order to usurp the throne. The "crime" is heinous and even more thought-provoking.

Margaret Atwood has a lot of titles: Queen of Canadian Literature, winner of the Booker Prize, the Kafka Prize, the German Book Industry Peace Prize, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and other awards, a favorite for the Nobel Prize in Literature, the author of the best-selling books "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Blind Assassin"... Margaret Atwood's talent is as undoubted as her achievements. The same is true of Penelope. It very cleverly uses Penelope, a little girl's autobiography in the underworld, to comprehensively take stock of what she knows about Odysseus, Helen, the Battle of Troy, and the story of Odysseus and Ithaca's revenge. Atwood completely replaced Penelope, the legendary lady, making her feel awkward when dating like an ordinary girl and panicking when teasing her parents-in-law, but also as witty and agile as the legend. She dealt with all the relatives skillfully, and when she met her husband who had been away for many years, she showed her cunning and intelligent character. The humor and irony between the lines made people laugh.
